Star Cruiser is a space shooter/adventure game with many distinct elements from a number of different genres. It focuses on exploration and is very story-driven, as the game takes the players through various star systems and planets to solve the mystery of the VOID attacks. On their way, the players will meet many peculiar characters, learn their stories and try to help with their problems whenever an opportunity presents itself.
Additionally, this port is somewhat more ‘mature’ if such a term could be used, due to its sense of humor and the depiction of alcohol. This version of the game is quite different from the Mega Drive port that is already available in English, but it’s similar to the original PC-88 release as far the mechanics are concerned (except for the character portraits and some other minor details). An interesting aspect of the game are the shops, which were not present in the MD port. There, just the equipment can be found, as the entire money system was scrapped. In the PC versions the playe
After World War III, humans have finally achieved world peace - or so they thought. Malevolent aliens have infected the human organism in a most treacherous way possible, turning young and pretty women into rampaging, violent nymphomaniacs. Only one person can stop the insanity - the attractive secret agent with the codename Lyewärd. Guerrière Lyewärd is a side-scrolling beat-em-up. The gameplay is very simple: the player moves the protagonist through strictly linear stages from left to right, each containing a few types of female enemies that attack the heroine from both sides. The secret agent can punch, kick, and jump. Power-ups such as health-restoring hearts and invincibility appear at set points during the stages, floating in the air. Each stage culminates with a boss battle against a powerful female enemy; defeating the boss leads to a lesbian sex scene.
This port of Lemmings is almost completely identical to the original Amiga release. The only difference is the rerecorded soundtrack and SFX for use on the Sharp's different soundcard. Unlike other Japanese releases, the soundtrack is the same score from the original Amiga release.
King's Dungeon was released in December 1992 by Soft Plan. In King's Dungeon, you play as a Dark Lord who defends his castle against invading heroes. You summon minions and traps to attempt to defeat the heroes. Each hero slaying grants you experience, which helps unlock new things to summon. There is a total of 40 levels.
A comedic doujin game which parodies classic RPGs like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Ys. Buta-san must battle through various enemies (all of which are pigs) to collect the three crystals scattered across the kingdom and defeat the dark lord. It was developed by students in a university club primarily to test the X68000's music driver.
Akumajou Dracula is a remake for the first Castlevania game. It was released only in Japan for the Sharp X68000 computer, but was later enhanced in Castlevania Chronicles for the PlayStation.
Naious is a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up. The gameplay is fairly traditional and involves navigating outdoor and indoor stages (often with narrow spaces), destroying mobile and stationary enemies on the way. The fighter craft starts with a vulcan gun and can later change to wide shot, laser, and homing missiles. Rather infrequent power-ups appear at set points on the stages and change or enhance the plane's weapons.
This compilation brings both Ys: The Vanished Omens and Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter together on the Sharp X68000 for the first time. While Ys had been released before, in a port with radically different presentation, Ys II had never before been released for the X68000. The releases in this package are brand-new ports featuring graphics and artwork based on the original PC-8801mkIISR releases.
Ancient Ys Vanished is a remake of Ys: The Vanished Omens. Story-wise, it is identical to the original version. However, there are more characters in the towns, and some of them have additional dialogue lines.
